475 FIELD COMMUNICATOR OVERVIEW

The 475 Field Communicator supports HART and FOUNDATION fieldbus devices, letting you configure, maintain, or troubleshoot devices. When using the 475 Field Communicator to communicate with devices, follow all standards and procedures applicable to the location. Failure to comply may result in equipment damage and/or personal injury. Be sure to understand and comply with the sections in this manual.

The 475 Field Communicator includes a color LCD touch screen, a Li-Ion battery (Power Module), a SH3 processor, memory components, System Card, and integral communication and measurement circuitry.

The Field Communicator also supports multiple languages. See the readme file included with the Field Communicator Easy Upgrade Utility or www.fieldcommunicator.com for more information.

Device interoperability The 475 Field Communicator is designed to operate with a wide range of HART and FOUNDATION fieldbus devices independent of device manufacturer. Device interoperability is achieved through the Electronic Device Description Language (EDDL) technology supported by the HART Communication Foundation and Fieldbus Foundation.

Basic testing is performed on all device descriptions. Each device manufacturer is asked to certify that they thoroughly tested their devices with the 475 Field Communicator. If certification is not received, a warning message displays when you attempt to communicate with an untested device. New device descriptions are available from the Field Communicator Easy Upgrade Utility or the Resource CD or DVD.

WARNING

You can install or remove the Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) battery (Power Module) in a hazardous area environment.You cannot charge the battery in this environment because the power supply/charger (00375-0003-0005) is not IS-approved.

Learning the basics 11

Working in a hazardous area

A 475 Field Communicator that meets the Intrinsic Safety requirements (I/S-approved) can be used in Zone 0 (FM and CSA only), Zone 1, or Zone 2, for Group IIC, and Class I, Division 1 and Division 2, Groups A, B, C, and D locations.

An IS-approved 475 Field Communicator may be connected to loops or segments that are attached to equipment located in Zone 0, Zone 1, Zone 2, for Group IIC; Zone 20, Zone 21, Zone 22, and Class I, Division 1 and Division 2, Groups A, B, C, and D locations. IS-approved 475 Field Communicators are ordered with the KL option and have an additional label on the back of the 475 that lists the approvals.

See Appendix B “Product certifications” for more information about IS approvals and installations.

CAUTION

You can install or remove the Li-Ion battery in a hazardous area environment. You cannot charge the battery in this environment because the power supply/charger is not IS-approved.

Battery and power supply/charger

The 475 Field Communicator is powered by a Li-Ion battery that has a green, 6-pin connector. The power supply/charger also has a green connector to match the appropriate connector on the battery. See Figure 2-1 for the location of the connector.

Prior to using the 475 Field Communicator without the power supply/charger connected, fully charge the battery.

Guidelines and precautions

Understand and follow the guidelines and precautions below before using the battery or power supply/charger.

• When transporting a Li-Ion battery, follow all applicable regulations.

• Protect the battery and power supply/charger from moisture, and respect operating and storage temperature limits. See Appendix A “Reference data” for more information.

• Do not cover the battery or power supply/charger, subject it to prolonged periods of direct sunlight, or place it upon or next to heat-sensitive materials.

• Charge the battery with only the Field Communicator power supply/charger. The power supply/charger should not be used with other products. Failure to comply may permanently damage your 475 Field Communicator and will void the IS approval and the warranty.

• Do not open or modify the battery or power supply/charger. There are no user-serviceable components or safety elements inside. Opening or modifying them will void the warranty and could cause personal harm.

WORKING ONLINE WITH HART DEVICES

Connecting to a HART device

The 475 Field Communicator can communicate with a device from the control room, on the bench, or any wiring termination point in the loop. Connect the 475 Field Communicator with the appropriate connectors in parallel with the device or load resistor. The HART connectors are not polarity sensitive.

A minimum of 250 ohms resistance must be present in the HART loop for the 475 Field Communicator to function properly. For information about Intrinsically Safe connections, see Appendix B.

HART communication terminals

Three terminals for the lead set are on the top of the 475 Field Communicator. Each red terminal is a positive connection for its protocol. The black terminal is a common terminal shared by both protocols. An access door ensures only one pair of terminals is exposed at any one time; see Figure 3-2. Several markings indicate which pair of terminals is for which protocol.

Figure 3-2. HART communication terminals and access door

NOTE

The lead set must be used to communicate with a wired or wireless device. The 475 Field Communicator cannot communicate wirelessly with devices.

Displaying the connected HART devices

After the device is connected, tap from the Field Communicator Main Menu. The HART Application automatically polls for connected devices using the selected polling options. See “Changing the HART polling options” on page 53 for information on modifying these options.

NOTE

Communication errors, such as a device appearing at multiple addresses, can occur when polling addresses greater than 15 on a loop with both HART Universal Revision 5 or earlier and HART Universal Revision 6 or higher devices.

For many devices, an Online menu similar to Figure 3-7 is the first menu to appear when connected to a HART device and is the root menu for the device. This menu displays critical, up-to-date process information that is continuously updated, including device setup, primary variable (PV), analog output (AO), PV lower range value (LRV), and PV upper range value (URV).

Depending on the device description, the first online screen may be a standard HART menu or a Device Dashboard menu. A Device Dashboard menu displays the same parameters, but they are organized by task. Options such as Overview, Configure, Service Tools, and Advanced may appear. See your device documentation for more information on these menus.

NOTE

Dynamic variables shown while online represent the digital data being sent from the device.

Displaying Device Setup options

The Device Setup on the HART Online menu accesses every configurable parameter for the connected device. Some devices may not display a Device Setup menu. Check your device documentation for more information. Double-tap Device setup to view the process variables, diagnostics and service, basic setup, detailed setup, and review menus.

Process Variables

The Process Variables menu lists all process variables and their values. Process variables are continuously updated when this window is displayed.

Diagnostics and Service

The Diagnostics and Service menu offers device and loop tests as well as calibration options. The diagnostics and service operations that are available vary widely from device to device and are defined in the device description.

The Test device menu lists the status as well as self and master test of the device. Test device initiates a diagnostic routine at the device and can report an electronics failure, as well as other failures that can affect performance.

Loop test is used to set the output of the device at a specified analog value, and may be used to test the integrity of the loop and the operation of indicators, recorders, or similar devices in the loop.

Calibration is used to perform such operations as performing a sensor trim, D/A trim, and scaled D/A trim.

Basic setup

The Basic setup menu provides quick access to a number of configurable parameters including tag, unit, range values, and damping.

The options available in the Basic setup menu are the most fundamental tasks that can be performed with a device. These tasks are a subset of the options available under the Detailed setup menu.

The Tag identifies a specific device. Changing the unit option affects the engineering units that are displayed. Changing range values modifies the analog output scaling. Changing damping affects the response time of the transmitter and is often used to smooth the output when there are rapid input variations.

A modified parameter is highlighted yellow and an asterisk appears to indicate the change has not been sent to the device. Tap Send to update the device.


Figure 3-8. Modified parameter example

Detailed setup

The Detailed setup menu provides access to every editable device parameter and all device functions. The Detailed setup menu varies widely from one HART device to another. Functions in this menu can include tasks such as characterization, configuration, and sensor and output trims.

Review

The Review menu lists all of the static parameters read from the connected device, including information about the device and sensor setup and limitations. It also may include information about the connected device such as tag, materials of construction, and device software revision.

Displaying Graphics The HART Application offers graphical views of device data by using the enhanced Electronic Device Description Language (EDDL) technology. Device data can be presented as images, charts, and graphs. These options appear as items in the HART Online menu and its submenus. The placement of the graphics in the menus varies from device to device because it is determined by the device manufacturer.

To view the graphical representations, you need a device using an enhanced device description. Only devices using an enhanced EDDL device description offer graphical representations of data. See Appendix C for more information about the Graphics functionality.

SECTION 4 FIELDBUS FUNCTIONALITY

OVERVIEW This section provides instruction on basic fieldbus functionality in the 475 Field Communicator. It is based on the operation of the Fieldbus Application version 6.1.

SAFETY MESSAGES Procedures and instructions in this section may require special precautions to ensure the safety of the personnel performing the operation. Information that raises potential safety issues is indicated by a warning symbol ( ). Refer to the safety messages before performing an operation preceded by this symbol. Other warning messages can be found in the Troubleshooting section of this manual.

WARNING

If a segment is connected to a host system, the changes made with the 475 Field Communicator may not be recorded in the host system’s permanent database. Verify the changes in the database. Otherwise, this could cause unpredictable results and, depending upon your application, process disruption leading to property damage, serious injury, or death. Ensure all safety precautions and work procedures have been followed.

WARNING

Changing device parameters could adversely affect the control of your process. Put the control loop in Manual/Out of Service before applying changes. Verify the output before returning the control loop to Auto. Failure to do so could result in property damage, serious injury, or death. Ensure all safety precautions and work procedures have been followed.

WARNING

The 475 Field Communicator draws approximately 12 mA from the fieldbus segment. Be sure the power supply or barrier on the fieldbus segment has the capacity to provide this additional current. If a heavily loaded fieldbus segment is drawing near the capacity of the segment’s power supply, connecting the 475 Field Communicator may result in loss of communication.

Fieldbus functionality60

BASIC FEATURES AND FUNCTIONS

Fieldbus Application functionality

The Fieldbus Application lets you communicate with connected fieldbus devices, modify settings for the application, and run diagnostics. Your 475 Field Communicator must be licensed for FOUNDATION Fieldbus to run this application. See your sales representative or the Online Licensing feature in the Field Communicator Easy Upgrade Utility to purchase this license.

Link Active Scheduler (LAS)

All segments have only one Link Active Scheduler (LAS). The LAS operates as the bus arbiter for the segment. The 475 Field Communicator is set up to always be the last node to become the LAS on a segment.

The devices that are capable of becoming the LAS are called link master devices. All other devices are referred to as basic devices. You can set a device to be a link master or basic device using the 475 Field Communicator. See “Setting the device to be a Link Master or Basic device” on page 74 for more information.

When a segment first starts up, or upon failure of the existing LAS, the link master devices on the segment bid to become the LAS. The link master that wins the bid (the one with the lowest address) begins operating as the LAS immediately upon completion of the bidding process. Link masters that do not become the LAS can act as LAS backups by monitoring the segment for failure of the LAS and then bidding to become the LAS when a LAS failure is detected.

Although the 475 Field Communicator is capable of becoming the LAS, it does not maintain the communication schedule and should not be thought of as a backup LAS.

Only one device can communicate at a time. Permission to communicate on the bus is controlled by a centralized token passed between devices by the LAS. Only the device with the token can communicate. The LAS maintains a list of all devices that need access to the bus. This list is called the Live Device List; see “Displaying the connected fieldbus devices” on page 65.

LAS hierarchy When a 475 Field Communicator is connected to a live fieldbus segment, it joins the fieldbus segment but not as the LAS. This means the 475 Field Communicator can view and edit device parameters, but the control of the segment is still handled by the node that is designated the LAS for the segment. You can also read and write if there is another LAS. Prior to connecting to a host system, review the 475 Field Communicator Host System Interoperability on www.fieldcommunicator.com.

Fieldbus functionality 61

STARTING THE FIELDBUS APPLICATION

A general warning message may appear upon starting the Fieldbus Application when a LAS is detected on the segment. Tap YES to go to the Live Device List, NO to return to the Field Communicator Main Menu, or HELP to get more information on the warning.

To start the Fieldbus Application:

1.Press and hold the Power Key until the green light on that key blinks to turn on the 475 Field Communicator.

2.Tap from the Field Communicator Main Menu. If a live fieldbus device is connected to the 475 Field Communicator, the Fieldbus Application main menu briefly appears followed by the Live Device List. Figure 4-1 shows the Fieldbus Application main menu.

If insufficient voltage is detected, a warning message appears. Tap OK to go to the Fieldbus Application main menu.

Figure 4-1. Fieldbus Application Main Menu

A connection warning message may appear if no communication is detected. This means that a LAS is not recognized by the 475 Field Communicator. This typically occurs when connecting to a single device.

To go back to the Field Communicator Main Menu, tap the back arrow button or press the left arrow key on the keypad.

From the Fieldbus Application main menu, you can choose Online, Utility, or Fieldbus Diagnostic functions. The rest of this section guides you through the Fieldbus Application menus and functions.

WORKING ONLINE WITH FIELDBUS DEVICES

The online menus display data for the device to which you are connected, and they display critical, up-to-date process information, including the segment Live Device List, Block Lists, Device Dashboard menus, and parameter information.

NOTE

It is normal for processes to take longer the greater the amount of scheduled communication. This is influenced by the number of devices and the control methods in place.


Connecting to a fieldbus device

Connect the 475 Field Communicator by using the lead set with the appropriate connectors in parallel with the device. Due to measurement circuitry, the 475 Field Communicator fieldbus connectors on the communication terminals are polarity sensitive. An error message appears if the lead set is connected incorrectly.

For information about Intrinsically Safe connections, see Appendix B.

NOTE

Dynamic variables shown while online represent the digital data being sent from the device.

Digital communication is susceptible to electrical noise; follow proper wiring instructions.

Fieldbus communication terminals

Three terminals for the lead set are on the top of the 475 Field Communicator. Each red terminal is a positive connection for its protocol. The black terminal is a common terminal shared by both protocols. An access door ensures only one pair of terminals is exposed at any one time; see Figure 4-2. Several markings indicate which pair of terminals is for which protocol.

1.Connect the 475 Field Communicator to a fieldbus segment.

2.Turn on the 475 Field Communicator.

3.On the Field Communicator Main Menu, tap .

4.On the Fieldbus Application main menu, double-tap Online. The Fieldbus Live Device List appears and indicates which device or host is acting as the LAS. The text LAS appears at the top of the window only when the 475 Field Communicator is the LAS. See Figure 4-5.

If a live fieldbus device is connected to a host acting as the LAS, a precautionary message appears. The Live Device List then appears with the tag name and address for the connected device.

If an existing host control system or a device capable of being the LAS is not connected, the 475 Field Communicator acts as a temporary LAS on the segment and produces a warning message. After reading and following the message instructions, tap OK to display the Live Device List.

From the Live Device List, a Block List or a Device Dashboard menu is displayed for a device, depending on the device description.

To return to the Fieldbus Application Main Menu, press the left arrow key on the keypad or tap the back arrow on the window. Select OK when prompted if you want to go offline.

Figure 4-5. Live Device List window example


Displaying the online device

Depending on the device description, the first screen displayed may be the Block List or a Device Dashboard menu. The Block List displays the block tag, block type, and actual mode of the device blocks in the connected device. It also lists an Advanced menu with additional menu options. Consult your device manual or the Fieldbus Foundation for more information on blocks and their functionality. FOUNDATION fieldbus menu trees are on www.fieldcommunicator.com as they become available.

A Device Dashboard menu displays the same parameters as the Block List, but they are organized by task rather than by block. Options such as Overview, Configure, Service Tools, and Advanced may appear. The Block List is still accessible from the Advanced option in a device menu.

The menu items that are displayed vary because they are determined by the device description. Refer to your device manual or www.fieldcommunicator.com for menu trees.

To view the Block List or Device Dashboard:

1.From the Fieldbus Application main menu, double-tap Online.

2.Double-tap a device.

3.The Block List or Device Dashboard menu appears.

NOTE

If the device is commissioned, the following operations are disabled: modifying the physical device tag, modifying the node address, scheduling an I/O Block, instantiating or deleting blocks, configuring a link master device, modifying a block tag.

Figure 4-6. Block List and Device Dashboard example

Block modes The resource, transducer, and all function blocks in the device have modes of operation. These modes govern the operation of the block. Every block supports both automatic (AUTO) and out of service (OOS) modes. Other types of modes that may also be supported are Cas, RCas, ROut, IMan and LO.


Types of modes

For the procedures described in this manual, it is helpful to understand the following modes:

AUTO

The functions performed by the block will execute. If the block has any outputs, these will continue to update. This is typically the normal operating mode.

MAN

In this mode, the output of the block can be manually overwritten for testing purposes.

Out of Service (OOS)

The functions performed by the block will not execute. If the block has any outputs, these will typically not update and the status of any values passed to other blocks is “BAD”. Before you make changes to the configuration of the block, change the mode of the block to OOS. When the changes are complete, change the mode back to AUTO.

Mode parameters

Mode parameters are used to change the block mode from one state to another. There are four types of mode parameters: Target, Actual, Permitted, and Normal.

The Target mode is the mode assigned to a block and is used to change a block to a desired mode.

The Actual mode is the current mode of the block.

The Permitted mode lists the modes that are allowed for a block. Setting the Permitted modes prevents unauthorized changes to the operating mode of a block. To do this, configure the Block:Mode Permitted parameter to allow only the desired operating modes. It is recommended to always select OOS as one of the Permitted modes.

The Normal mode is the mode the block should be set to during normal operation conditions.

Locate mode parameters

In the resource and transducer blocks, the mode parameters are normally found in the Process menu. In all other function blocks, they are found in the Common Config menu. The mode parameters are also included in the All parameter list; see “Device blocks” on page 69.

You can view and edit the Target mode parameter by tapping the MODE button in the menus.


Change modes

Whenever you need to change the parameters or properties of a block, you need to change the mode. A warning message may appear if the mode of any block is included in a list of parameter changes to be sent to a device.

To change the block mode:

1.Tap the MODE button in the Block Menu or at the bottom of a screen. See Figure 4-7.

2.If prompted, select a block from the list and tap OK.

3.Remove the checkmark next to the current mode by tapping the checkbox next to it. An asterisk (*) symbol appears next to Block Mode Target and the checkboxes are highlighted yellow to indicate the change to the Target mode has not been sent to the device. If the mode checkboxes are read-only, the block may have been set to allow only one mode.

4.Tap the checkbox next to a mode to select it as the new Target mode.

5.Tap OK.

6.When the message appears, tap YES to apply and send the change to the device, or tap NO to cancel. A Mode Change window showing the Target mode and Actual mode appears until the Actual mode changes. If the window does not disappear, the actual mode cannot be changed due to the current device state. Tap CLOSE to close the Mode Change window.

CONFIGURING THE FIELDBUS APPLICATION

Changing the fieldbus polling addresses

Polling is a method of determining which devices are present on a network. The V(FUN) is the first unpolled node address. V(NUN) is the number of unpolled node addresses. The addresses between V(FUN) and V(FUN)+V(NUN)-1 are not polled. The default value for V(FUN) is 200 and the default value for V(NUN) is zero. Narrowing the range of devices being polled provides a quicker Live Device List refresh.

The DeltaV System Polling checkbox instructs the 475 Field Communicator to use the same polling scheme as DeltaV. The V(FUN) and V(NUN) options are read-only when the checkbox is selected.

To change the polling addresses:

1.From the Fieldbus Application main menu, double-tap Utility.

2.Double-tap Polling.

3.Enter values in the V(FUN) and V(NUN) fields and tap OK.

2.Power on the Field Communicator by pressing and holding thePower key.

Troubleshooting80

HART loops

Verify the HART loop current and voltage on the device. Almost all devices need at least 4 mA and 12V DC to operate properly.

If there are multiple devices on a multidrop loop, set the 475 Field Communicator to Poll by Address. See “Changing the HART polling options” on page 53 for more information on polling options.

Inspection of the loop wiring can often reveal problems. The shield is normally grounded at one end only, which is usually the control system.

Verify the loop has a minimum of 250 ohms resistance. If there is not an external resistor, then, normally, the total resistance is the resistance of the process-indicating device monitoring the loop. Check the manuals for the process-indicating device to determine its loop resistance. If the resistance of the process-indicating device is unknown, it can be determined by knowing the current flow in the loop and the voltage across the process-indicating device.

The resistance can be calculated using the formula, Resistance = Voltage / Current. The 475 Field Communicator can be used to measure the voltage; see “DC voltage measurement (HART terminals)” on page 57.

Sample values

Loop Current Flow Minimum voltage for 250 ohms.

4 mA 1 Volt8 mA 2 Volts12 mA 3 Volts16 mA 4 Volts 20 mA 5 Volts

If the voltage across the process-indicating device is greater than the value listed for a given current flow, the device has at least 250 ohms of internal resistance. If the voltage is less than the value listed in the table for the given current flow, more resistance needs to be added to the loop.

If an oscilloscope is available, use it to look for noise on the loop. Use a scope with differential mode capability or a battery powered/isolated scope to avoid grounding one side of the loop. Noise with a frequency of 500 Hz to 10,000 Hz is of particular interest, as this represents frequencies near the HART frequencies of 1200 and 2200 Hz.

Troubleshooting 81

Table 5-1. Troubleshooting table for the HART protocol

Symptom Possible causes Solution

Intermittent communication

Insufficient loop current and voltage at the device terminals.

Verify there is at least 4 mA and 12V DC at the device terminals; see “DC voltage measurement (HART terminals)” on page 57.

Noise on the field loop.

Noise or signal distortion from the control system, i.e., noise from the power supply powering the devices or front end analog circuitry inside the control system may be distorting the HART signal.

Poor wiring. Check wiring terminations and exposed signal wire for damage.

No communication with device.

Insufficient loop resistance at the HART frequencies.

Add an additional 250 ohm resistor in series in the loop. Place the leads across the resistor and verify if communication has been restored.

Insufficient loop current and voltage at the device terminals.

Verify that there is at least 4 mA and 12V DC at the device terminals; “DC voltage measurement (HART terminals)” on page 57.

Device may be set to a HART address other than zero (multidrop mode).

Change Polling mode to Poll by Address. See “Changing the HART polling options” on page 53.

Cannot connect to a HART device.

The polling address or tag may not match the device.

Check the Polling Options to ensure the proper polling type is selected.

Control system is communicating HART, but the Field Communicator is not communicating properly.

HART communication is being prevented by the control system.

Stop HART communications on the control system and verify if communication between the devices and the 475 is restored.

Troubleshooting82

More than one Field Communicator or other Secondary Master may be attached to the control loop.

Ensure there is only one Primary Master and one Secondary Master on the control loop.

A HART device appears at the multiple addresses.

The incorrect polling addresses may be used.

Change the addresses being polled. See “Changing the HART polling options” on page 53.

HART Universal Revision 5 (or earlier), 6, and 7 devices are on the same loop

Put HART Universal Revision 5 or earlier devices on a separate loop from HART Universal Revision 6 or 7 devices.

Troubleshooting 83

Table 5-2. Troubleshooting table for the fieldbus protocol

Symptom Possible causes Solution

No communication with device.

The Field Communicator is connected to a segment with DeltaV and the device on the same segment is being commissioned using DeltaV.

The Field Communicator is unable to communicate with this device until you go offline and then back online.

Connected to a segment in a bench configuration and the Live Device List remains blank (even the Field Communicator does not appear).

This issue is caused by the speed at which certain LAS-enabled devices are attempting to run the segment.

Establish communication by putting the Field Communicator on the segment first and then adding one or more devices. By putting the Field Communicator on first, it will remain the LAS and control the communication.

Unable to change the address of a device.

The Field Communicator is unable to change the address of a device that is currently the LAS.

Establish communication by putting the Field Communicator on the segment first and then adding one or more devices. By putting the Field Communicator on first, it will remain the LAS and allow the address change.

The Field Communicator does not remain the LAS on a segment.

A host takes over as the LAS.

When a host is established on a segment, it will take over as the LAS. No action is required.

A backup LAS takes over as the LAS. The lower the address and Slot Time of the device, the more likely this will occur.

See “Changing the Slot Time” on page 76.

APPENDIX C GRAPHICS INFORMATION

OVERVIEW The Graphics functionality enables new, graphical screens by using enhanced Electronic Device Description Language (EDDL) capabilities. You can now view HART or fieldbus device information as images, charts, and graphs.

To view the graphical representations, you need a device using an enhanced EDDL device description and a 475 Field Communicator. The following sections provide details on the window layout, the buttons used to modify the graphics, and the graphics options.

SCREEN LAYOUT A 475 Field Communicator has three elements on a window: a command bar, a tag bar, and buttons. The command bar shows the back arrow icon, HART heartbeat or fieldbus logo, LAS indicator (fieldbus devices only), ScratchPad application icon, and terminate icon. The tag bar shows the device type and device tag. The buttons let you modify the appearance of a window by panning, zooming, or resetting the window.

The HELP key appears if there is help associated with the particular selection. Use the left arrow button on the 475 Field Communicator or the back arrow icon on the window to close the view and return to the previous menu.

BUTTONS Use the following buttons to modify the appearance of the graphs and charts on your window:

Pan - Tap this button, select a point in the chart or graph, and drag to move it back and forth in the window.

Area zoom - Tap this button, then tap and drag a point in the chart to create an enlarged box. After you release your stylus from the window, the chart enlarges to fit the area. This control is available on strip charts and graphs only.

Zoom in - Tap this button to zoom in at a fixed rate from the center of the chart. Tap again to repeat the action.

Zoom out - Tap this button to zoom out at a fixed rate from the center of the chart. Tap again to repeat the action.

Reset - Tap this button to return the chart or graph to its original home view, removing any panning or zooming you have performed.

Drop-down list - Tap this menu to select between different variables to highlight on the chart or the different waveforms in the graph.

GRAPHICS OPTIONS

Images An image is a full screen picture of a device. Images can include logos and various graphics, such as tanks. To view the image, select the image or drawing label in the menu. The full screen image is shown. To return to the menu view, press any key or tap the touch screen.

Some images have links that let you run methods or view additional menus. If an image has a link, an arrow appears next to the image or drawing label in the menu. After you open the image, use the left arrow key to return to the menu or press any key to launch the method or additional menu associated with that image or drawing. If a link is not associated with the image, press any key to return to the menu.

Charts Charts display a graphic view of variables as they occur over time. There are four major types of charts:

• Strip/sweep/scope - Displays variable data with an x-axis of time.A strip chart continually updates the chart, scrolling from right to left.

A sweep chart paints the window from left to right, and then paints the window from left to right again, overwriting the oldest data. A vertical line is used to separate the old and new data. When the data reaches the right edge of the screen, the data is then plotted from the left edge of the screen and the x-axis is updated.

A scope chart paints the window from left to right. When the data reaches the right edge of the screen, the screen is cleared and the x-axis is updated.

• Horizontal bar - Displays data represented as bars from left to right.

• Vertical bar - Displays data represented as bars from bottom to top.

• Gauge - Displays a gauge chart, similar to an analog carspeedometer.

NOTE

If a chart is displayed for an extended time period, the 475 Field Communicator will have decreased response time due to the large number of data points in the chart.

Strip/sweep/scope charts

The strip/sweep/scope chart formats device data into a line chart that displays device data over time. The labels and axis displayed are determined by the device manufacturer. Use the drop-down list to select the variable you want to highlight. The selected variable is displayed as a bold, solid colored line. Other variables that share the same source or same Y-axis appear as thin colored lines on the chart. Variables that do not share the same axis as the selected variable appear as dashed, colored lines. The colors displayed are determined by the device description and may vary between devices.

A vertical line may be displayed in the chart to distinguish between the old and new data. The vertical line advances as new data is displayed.

For the sweep and scope charts, the pan, zoom-in, zoom-out, and reset affect only the Y-axis.

The time shown on the x-axis starts at the time the chart starts. The chart update rate is determined by the device manufacturer. The default chart update rate is 1 second.

114

Figure C-3. Strip/sweep/scope chart example

Horizontal bar charts

A horizontal bar chart formats device data into bars from left to right and varies with time. Use the drop-down list to select the variable you want to highlight. Additional horizontal bars may be present if more than one variable is defined for the option you selected in the drop-down list. The selected variable from the drop-down list appears in color and has a black dot at the end of it. The colors displayed are determined by the device description and may vary between devices. The labels and axis displayed are determined by the device manufacturer.

The chart update rate is determined by the device manufacturer. The default chart update rate is 1 second.

Figure C-4. Horizontal bar chart example

115

Vertical bar charts

A vertical bar chart formats device data into bars from bottom to top and varies with time. Use the drop-down list to select the variable you want to highlight. Additional vertical bars may be present if more than one variable is defined for the option you selected in the drop-down menu. The selected variable from the drop-down list appears in color and has a black dot above it. The colors displayed are determined by the device description and may vary between devices.The labels and axis displayed are determined by the device manufacturer.


Figure C-5. Vertical bar chart example

Gauge charts

A gauge chart formats device data into a view similar to an analog car speedometer and plots device data varying with time. Use the drop-down list to select the variable you want to highlight. Additional gauge needles may be present if more than one variable is defined for the option selected in the drop-down list. The selected variable from the drop-down list appears as a long, colored needle while the other variables appear as short, colored needles. The colors displayed are determined by the device description and may vary between devices.There can only be a maximum number of three variables per gauge chart. The labels and axis displayed are determined by the device manufacturer.


116

Figure C-6. Gauge chart example

Graphs A graph is a snapshot line drawing of device information. Use the drop-down list to select the variable you want to highlight. Additional variables may be present if more than one is defined for the option selected in the drop-down list. The selected variable from the drop-down list appears as a bold, solid colored line while the other variables with the same Y-axis appear as thin colored lines. The colors displayed are determined by the device description and may vary between devices. Variables that do not share the same Y-axis as the selected variable appear as dashed, colored lines. The labels and axis displayed are determined by the device manufacturer.

You may also see symbols such as squares or triangles on some variables. These show keypoints that indicate the important values on a graph. If more than seven variables are on the graph, “+” symbols are displayed for the keypoints.
